White privilege ‘shapes the world,’ says dorm display
Campus Reform ^ | April 17, 2017 | Anthony Gockowski

Another “white privilege” board discovered at Indiana University declares that privilege “shapes the world in which we live.”

According to a photo of the board obtained by Campus Reform, white privilege is not necessarily defined as something that white people “do, create, or enjoy on purpose,” but rather as a “transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society.”

White accomplishment CREATED the modern world. Everything you touch, eat, use, buy today is the result of the WHITE Renaissance, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, American Revolution, and the creation of Capitalism as the best way to organize and allocate scarce resources.

Don’t forget to include a job application for a white privilege position.

Could there possibly be something that nonwhites do, or do not do, that shapes the relatively less positive view of them? Or is the premise true at all?

Tell me about it. Let’s see a white guy write “Black lives matters” all over his college application and see if he gets accepted to Stanford as well.

I am so flattered when loser decry “white privilege”; they apparently view us as god-like and magical, and thinly cloak their awe behind such goofy attacks. If they keep this up I’m going to start believing we are genetically superior...

They’ve also added “having a parent read to them as children” and Obama’s best: Having the financial means to save money by buying in bulk.

The class envy in this country, coupled with crushing inferiority complexes among some non-white populations, is reaching fever pitch. That is why our government has opted to just replace these perpetual losers with foreigners.

Its a damn shame there isn’t a chunk of territory in the US that is habitably yet largely uninhabited, that could secede from an existing state to form a new state, and then vette everyone who comes into that start to make sure that they are not a criminal, non-US citizen, communist, socialist, leftist, feminist or Muslim.

The federal government would simply seize it; they’d want to wring revenues from such a place (and ensure they pick up their share of the upkeep of our population that is criminal, non-US citizen, communist, socialist, leftist, feminist or Muslim).

The fact that black athletes dominate the NFL and NBA is ok because that is based on talent. Since the blacks are only about 14% of the US population, how about limiting those organizations to that percentage rosters for black athletes.
In most all other organizations we MUST have the proper representation of minorities to satisfy social justice.
Go figure.

More evidence of how badly the collapse of American educational standards & competence has mucked up academic perceptions.

What is obvious to any rational person, is that White achievement has tended to have a dominant influence on public perceptions of what works, in much of the world, today. Anyone who has the need to call achievement "privilege," is very confused to be sure.

More relevant to these idiotic theories of the half/baked in contemporary academia, is What Drives The Trump Haters?. (It isn't love of country. It isn't honor, or loyalty to those who won our liberty, or common sense, or common decency.) Understanding & rejecting the neurotic compulsions behind the Trump haters, and their PC imperatives, is the key to regaining the prospects for a better future, for most of mankind.

“but rather as a “transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society.”
“Preference” as in choice? Pro-choice. If people prefer white, then so be it. Up your game and be more market competitive.

Yeah- that’s it- white privilege is to blame for everything, because after all white folks are rioting whenever the po po don’t do what we demand, we’re burning villages, destroying people’s businesses- torching their vehicles, ruining lives, shooting up neighborhoods etc etc etc-

White privilege- Go pound sand

Exactly!

Some one should ammend the sign to say “Enjoy it! We’ll give you fire and the wheel and all sorts of neat stuff!”

“privilege” is a fake word.
The real word is intelligence. “privilege” = intelligence.
Just substitute the proper word and then thank a white guy when you meet him.
As one poster already mentioned: read “The Bell Curve” if you can even find a copy of it anymore. It pretty much sums up what the libs are in denial about.

Tough to figure out isn’t it.

These thugs are nothing more than morons trying to kill the golden goose.
